Abstract:With expanding demands of lithium-ion batteries in portable electronic devices (e.g., smartphones, tablet PCs) and environmental-friendly vehicles (e.g., electric and/or hybrid vehicles), it is important to further improve safety, extend battery life, increase charge capacity, and reduce cost. A key missing component is effective and efficient manufacturing of complex active cathode materials at needed scales, such as nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) oxide microparticles with layered structures. Specifically, the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
